This morning was great! I could have gone longer, but I have a race this weekend, and I don't want to push myself too much and injure myself.

I would recommend not altering your training at all prior to a race for the next 6 months at least. Otherwise racing becomes a form of untraining. Approach races as regular training runs. Your chances of injury on tired legs are often less than the other way around. You go out slower, there is less pounding, and your muscles remember how to deal with it from running earlier in the week. If you cut down, the muscles forget how to deal with pounding while your nervous system is fresh and anxious to push them into dangerous areas.

Sasha - Thank you! I appreciate your help. Saturday is my first race for all (for the most part). I am curious what I should eat prior to the race (Night before or morning of) so I have fuel but don't get sick. Any advice?

From Sasha Pachev on Wed, Sep 10, 2008 at 18:16:50

Do not eat anything you normally would not. Eat something that has proven to give good results in training. Overall do not stress about the race. Think of it a regular training run with a crowd around you and a chance to meet people.

Sasha - Thank you!

Walter - I hate that sick feeling. It is quite annoying. I hope you can beat it and get out there tonight. I'm planning on running tonight as well, assuming my husband doesn't end up at mutual too late. Good luck!
